Subject: RE: Advice on flushing a large dump
Dustin, thanks so much for your suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work for
me:
bac...@centernet:/dumps$ amadmin DBackup holding delete tobaccodev
amadmin: unknown command "holding"
Usage: amadmin <conf> <command> {<args>} [-o configoption]* ...
Valid <command>s are:
version # Show version info.
config # Show configuration.
force [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Force level 0 at next run.
unforce [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Clear force command.
force-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Force bump at next run.
force-no-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Force no-bump at next run.
unforce-bump [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Clear bump command.
disklist [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]* # Debug disklist entries.
reuse <tapelabel> ... # re-use this tape.
no-reuse <tapelabel> ... # never re-use this tape.
find [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]* # Show which tapes these dumps are on.
delete [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]+ # Delete from database.
info [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]* # Show current info records.
due [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]* # Show due date.
balance [-days <num>] # Show nightly dump size balance.
tape [-days <num>] # Show which tape is due next.
bumpsize # Show current bump thresholds.
export [<hostname> [<disks>]* ]* # Export curinfo database to stdout.
import # Import curinfo database from stdin.
bac...@centernet:/dumps$ amadmin DBackup version
build: VERSION="Amanda-2.5.1p1"
<snip>
Is your 'holding delete' the same as this version's 'delete'? I'm nervous about
something that just says, "Delete from database."
Thanks, again, for trying to help me.
-Kevin

amadmin $conf holding delete $host [ $disk [ .. ] ]
